Trademarks & Copyright

If you are registering a company you may already be thinking about the long term value of your business. Every business has an image in the mind of the consumer. Sometimes this is referred to as the “brand image”. As your brand develops it becomes a valuable asset of your company and an important tool in your marketing processes. You may be able to be legally protect this brand identity by registering it as a trade mark.

Trade mark registration gives you a statutory monopoly to use the trade mark for the goods and/or services you supply to the exclusion of all others. Registration is proof of ownership of the trade mark. As companies grow, it is often their trade marks which become very valuable assets. Think of Coca-Cola, Apple or Renault and you will appreciate these household names are extremely valuable.
